Aside from the words that are/perceived as hurtful, its really shown how and who are on whos side in this debate. on MMM, BT went hard at robbo, stating that robbo's a wordsmith (lol) and knows the power of words. Added why there's been no punishment other than an apology on twitter, a bit in the HS. Furthermore, played the hypothetical angle, if it was he, carey, jb or damo their heads would roll. Carey, JB, purple also supported BTs POV. Let's analyse the teams at the time BT made his rant.
Triple M (anti robbo)
JB (ex ch 9)
BT (7)
Carey (7)
purple (9)
SEN (pro robbo)
derm (fox)
huddo (fox)

Clear battle lines. SENites are generally on Fox, and no affiliation to 9 or 7
How do you explain Hutchy, Pickers and Turf all queuing up to clout Ribbo on SEN immediately prior to Robbos segment today? Also Huddo whacked Robbo earlier on this week.

Triple m didn't sack spud for the Caro thing last year. If triple m were the high moral champs.

Given words are his livelihood you would think he'd have more control over them.

Robbo apologized. I don't think that is good enough.
If a footballer had sent the tweet, Robbo and his ilk would be condemning them, and the footballer would be portrayed as worse than Hitler.
So how come, when it is one of their own, no person in the media hasn't gone to town on Robbo?
I would have thought that Robbo's enemies, like Caro and Damo, who got personal about his support of Essendon players, would have a field day condemning him.
This is the third time, that I know of, where Robbo has questioned someone suffering depression.
Last time it was Garry Lyon last year, where he questioned his depression.
Before that, he ran with a rumor that Buddy Franklin's depression, that it was brought on by the end of his relationship, as Jesinta Campbell had caught him in bed with another woman. This is evidenced by Jesinta carrying a TV out of their house, and putting it in her car, and that it means that she is moving her things out.However, later on, Jesinta was on the radio, saying that their relationship was rock solid, that she would support him all the way, and refuting the "break-up" rumors. She carried the TV to the car because her and Buddy got a new TV, and she was giving their old one to her parents. I think the fact they got married also put paid to that rumor.
Robbo shouldn't have run with things that aren't true.
I think the H-S need to act here. He needs to, at best, be stripped of his standing as Chief Football writer at the Hun. I hope advertisers threaten to pull out if Robbo is not disciplined.
Lately Fox Footy has been brainstorming ways to improve his credibility. One of their strategies is to associate him with 'legends of the game', hence, we've seen him crash the set of that other program, what's it called, the one where Roos, Brereton, Lynch & Johnson sit around and talk crap? I forget the name of it. Anyway, he 'accidentally on purpose' walks on to their set and pretends to be buddies with them. If Fox have to go to such lengths, it makes me wonder if his days are numbered. Then again, people are still following him on twitter.... And to those people I have a message:
Not terribly surprising that news.com.au has today gone with a story about the spat and gone one better by quoting details of what it describes as "Trainwreck interviews". (Brian Taylor, Damien Barrett and Mark Robinson in footy media feud) It does have the distinct aroma of News Ltd (read: Robbo) trying to have a whack back but failing to land a blow. Who cares that BT has had some awkward interviews? We all know that but it hardly rates on a level anywhere near the idiocy of Robbo. Let's hope the issue continues to focus the blowtorch on the Slob.Aside from the words that are/perceived as hurtful, its really shown how and who are on whos side in this debate. on MMM, BT went hard at robbo, stating that robbo's a wordsmith (lol) and knows the power of words.

I got home late today, so I'm only watching 360 now.
Robbo talks about the apologies that he's made... but goes onto say that he'll be writing a letter to Fasolo tonight.
Why the **** did that take 5 days?
He does seem genuinely contrite - but to me it doesn't change the fact that 1) he is paid to be a writer, there has to be a greater consideration of his words, and 2) that he wouldn't go as lightly if it were someone like Eddie McGuire or James Brayshaw (when he was Pres) if they'd said something so foolish, offensive and insensitive.
